• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Number of positions (15)
• Single row configuration
• Through-hole mounting capability
• Kinked pin solder termination
• Detent lock fastening
• Brass contact material with tin finish
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 compliance

The Molex 0532531570 satisfies all substitution criteria. This part maintains identical functional and electrical parameters while offering active product status and improved availability. The substitute belongs to the Micro-Latch 53253 series and represents the current generation equivalent for this connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0532531570 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 0894001520. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) for both components indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Selection of the 0532531570 is supported by matching contact geometry, termination method, fastening mechanism, and material specifications. The substitute is packaged in trays, providing standard handling and storage compatibility with modern procurement workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0532531570 directly replace the 0894001520 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (15), contact type (male pin), termination method (kinked pin solder), and fastening mechanism (detent lock). The electrical and mechanical interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 0894001520 is obsolete, while the 0532531570 is active. The substitute belongs to the Micro-Latch 53253 series and represents the current generation offering. Minor dimensional variations exist in shrouding design (4-wall versus 3-wall) and contact length specifications, but these do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Moisture sensitivity levels are identical at MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The 0532531570 is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for production and automated assembly environments.

Q: Are there any applications where the substitute would not be suitable?

A: The substitute maintains all functional parameters required for board-to-cable/wire applications with detent lock fastening. No application restrictions exist based on the provided specifications.
